[Nearly ready for the event (she left earlier to have her hair and makeup done, and she's now returned to put on her dress), she shows up at the Darkling's bedroom door without her purse and shoes for the evening. Lexa is not yet ready to go, but it's clear that she has business to handle before she does.
Her presence outside of his door is not announced by a knock, but instead her opening her mind just enough so that he can feel the nudge and weight of her standing outside. Once she feels she's made herself known, she closes off her mind, setting up the same, practiced walls that she's been working on in decent meditations since Kylo Ren's invasion. They are not as stable as many people's here, but her emotional control offers her some aid.]
